Morgan Fisher is a filmmaker of great wit and charm who uses the tools of experimental film to dissect the basic presuppositions of commercial cinema.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
How do communities formed under the duress of violent othering and the joy of solidarity – such as ballroom culture, Black diasporas, Zapatistas – reform bonds of kinship?
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
